A product’s EAN code (European Article Number) is a barcode used to uniquely identify a product. It is an international numbering and coding system widely used in the retail industry. It is represented graphically as a barcode printed on the product’s packaging.
This code stores information such as the country of origin, the manufacturer, and the product identification number. Retailers use EAN codes to quickly and accurately scan products. They also help manage inventory, track sales, and facilitate online price monitoring. These codes also simplify transactions and the product verification process at the checkout.
